DESCRIPTION
Use the
pdshutdown command to terminate a server process.
A server can be shut down either immediately or after it has finished processing some or all of its current
jobs.
While a server is shutting down and after it has shut down, the server cannot accept new jobs. Printers
that were enabled at shutdown time will be enabled after restart. Printers that were disabled at shutdown
time will be disabled after restart.
A confirmation message may be issued, depending on the value of the
server-notification-
profile
attribute for the specified server when the shutdown is complete.
Note: To restart a server once shutdown, you need to use the pdstartspl or pdstartsuv
utility.
See pdstartspl(1M) and pdstartsuv(1M).
Options
You can use the following options with the
pdshutdown command:
-h Display a command-specific help message containing information about command syntax and options.
This option cannot be used with another option or with an attribute.
-c server
The only supported class for this command is server.
-m "MessageText"
Specify the message to be associated with the specified server being shut down. You can use this mes-
sage to indicate the reason for shutting down the server or to provide other comments.
You can list this message by specifying requested-attributes=message
with the pdls com-
mand.

-m option is not specified, the message already stored with the object remains unchanged.

message.

after-current (default),
now,orafter-all.
now If the server is a Supervisor , the result of the command is to abort any currently printing
jobs, then shut down the supervisor. These jobs will be rescheduled to the next available printer
if the spooler is still active. If the spooler has been shutdown, the job is aborted. When the
spooler and supervisor become active again, the job will have to be submitted again.
If the server is a Spooler, the spooler shuts down immediately.
after-current (default)
If the server is a Supervisor , The supervisor continues to accept requests other than print
requests until the currently-printing jobs finish printing. Then the supervisor shuts down.
If the server is a Spooler, the spooler shuts down immediately.
after-all

scheduled jobs finish printing. Then the server shuts down.
